Sakru was accompanied by around a dozen friends and relatives as he visited the bridge today.

He was too distraught to speak and Mert's cousin Ali Kalak said that the father had been crying for two days.

Anguish: Mert's father Sakru said his son had told him he would be back in an hour or two when he went out on Monday evening

Mr Kalak said: 'All his father does is cry all day. He does not eat. He tells us he was such a good boy. It is his only son. He loved him so much. Everything he wanted he gave him.

'We want to know what happened. There are so many questions and no answers.'

Sakru told The Sun that his son went out on Monday evening promising to be back soon.

'We told him not to be out late,' he said. We
were waiting and waiting. Then the police came round to see us at nine
this morning. I can't stop crying.'

He added: 'He was a happy person - everything seemed okay.'

Today Charleigh's mother Sandie Barnes said she was enduring a nightmare, and wrote that she just wanted her daughter back.

The deaths of Mert and Charleigh, who attended Hertswood Academy, are not being treated as suspicious.

Charleigh had
auditioned for the television shows Britain's Got Talent and Must Be The
Music in the past.

The GCSE pupil had posted videos of herself on YouTube playing
an acoustic guitar and had written on her website that she wanted to
become a musician 'to be remembered'.

Just days before her death she had uploaded a haunting rendition of herself singing the David Guetta hit song Titanium.

Charleigh's grandmother and sister were among wellwishers who left flowers close to the scene.

Their school's headteacher, Peter Gillett, said yesterday: 'As a close community, obviously we are devastated by this tragedy. Both students were talented, hard-working and well-respected members of our academy.

'Our thoughts are with their families at this most difficult time. We are supporting our students and staff in coping with this terrible loss.'

Floral tributes to the teenagers and cards were left outside the school's gates.

One card read: 'To Mert, thinking of you always, bless your soul and may you rest in peace friend.' Another read: 'Sleep tight angel. RIP CJ and Mert, never forgotten.'

Friends of the pair took to social media to express their shock and grief.

One girl said: 'R.I.P Cj and Mert such wonderful and talented people, you will be truly missed xxxxx.'

Another wrote: 'Situations like this just do not make sense, RIP Mert and CJ.'

BTP is continuing its investigations into the incident.

Superintendent Phil Wilkinson said yesterday: 'Although my officers are continuing their investigations as part of our work to prepare a file for the local coroner, there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances and no one else is believed to have been involved.

'Colleagues from Hertfordshire Constabulary are also in a local secondary school to provide comfort and support to students and staff at this very difficult time.'
